Walking by the Abyss on Thin Ice

Chapter 221 – Eastern Flying Fox

"The little demon who sealed me has grown up, but I have also recovered from the attack of the Immortal Sword. This world..."

The upside-down eyes behind the wall slowly closed, and the scales on the eyelids reflected the texture of the runic wall, which completely matched the runic wall.

"I shall reign!"

Su Yun seemed to hear an inexplicable dragon chant from afar, then returned to calmness. He couldn't help but look around in surprise, but he didn't find anything unusual.

After all, the Eastern Capital was the imperial capital of Yuanshuo, and most of the residents here were high-ranking officials and nobles who had dragons such as Jiaolong, Chilong, and Lulong as their mounts.

He breathed a sigh of relief. The Gluttonous Demon had been suppressed, and he had solved one of his hidden dangers. As for the invitation from Dao Saint and Holy Buddha, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Moreover, even if Dao Saint and Holy Buddha didn't invite him to take action, he would still do so.

The book monster Ying Ying was still in shock and flew into his spiritual realm to check, saying to Su Yun's spiritual sense, "Although the two saints have resealed your memory, I am still a little worried and need to verify it!"

Su Yun asked, "How to verify?"

"It's simple! Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!"

Ying Ying repeated it several times in a row, and Su Yun felt dizzy. Ying Ying frowned, repeated Qingyu Town several more times, and made Su Yun faint, and finally, the runic wall slowly appeared.

Ying Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "The runic wall is still there. I thought it was leaking. Since the seal is still there, I can rest assured."

When Su Yun woke up from his coma, the runic wall slowly receded and disappeared.

Ying Ying had been watching the changes in the runes on the wall and found nothing different.

"When I woke up, is the seal still there, Ying Ying?" Su Yun had a splitting headache, shook his head, and asked.

Ying Ying hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "The seal is still there. But before, when I said Qingyu Town three times, you couldn't bear it. This time, I said it five times before the seal was activated. I suspect that the seal has not been completely repaired, but I just checked it carefully and found nothing wrong."

Su Yun was secretly worried, and Ying Ying quickly said, "It may also be because the runes that Dao Saint and Holy Buddha comprehended are not consistent with those of Qu Taichang. When Qu Taichang sent the runes, the runes were not complete."

Su Yun was slightly relieved.

As Ying Ying said, Dao Saint and Holy Buddha both got incomplete runes, and they completed the runes by their own understanding, which must be different from the runes designed by Qu Bo and others.

When they repaired the cracked runic wall, it was probably not as effective as before, and they were no longer so sensitive to the three words Qingyu Town.

"This is a double blessing in disguise!"

Su Yun was overjoyed. On the one hand, he suppressed the Gluttonous Demon, and on the other hand, while the Gluttonous Demon occupied his body, he also refined the Gluttonous Demon. The benefits were amazing!

He told Dao Saint and Holy Buddha that he would calm down the conflict between the new and old schools tomorrow. The reason was that he needed a day to digest the benefits he gained from refining the Gluttonous Demon.He calmed down and contemplated, while Ying Ying stayed in his spiritual realm, helping him sort out "The Record of the Gluttonous Beast". The two of them cooperated closely and seamlessly.

Su Yun spoke about his insights on the Gluttonous Beast, but due to his limited time in school, he couldn't solve many of the difficult problems. However, Ying Ying was a huge treasure trove, and she could easily solve almost all of Su Yun's problems.

However, soon Ying Ying discovered a problem: in every ten sentences Su Yun said, there was always one sentence that would allow her to solve the rune seal.

This seemingly casual questioning made her alert.

Ying Ying quietly activated their mental connection and touched Su Yun's spiritual essence. Suddenly, her expression changed as she felt an extremely terrifying evil thought lurking deep within Su Yun's spiritual essence.

She "saw" the rune wall, the darkness behind it, and then saw the rune wall slowly cracking open, revealing a huge, upside-down pupil!

Ying Ying quickly cut off their mental connection.

"What's wrong?" Su Yun asked in surprise.

Ying Ying forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do and need to leave your spiritual realm."

Su Yun sent her out of his spiritual realm, and Ying Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She went to Bai Yuelou, where Bai Yuelou had already regained their senses from the shock of Su Yun turning into the Gluttonous Beast, cleaned themselves up, and changed into a clean white robe.

"Something big is not right!" Ying Ying said urgently, "Xiao Lou, there is still a demon god inside Su Scholar that has not been sealed!"

Bai Yuelou's face turned pale and they almost fled, but Ying Ying quickly said, "This demon god is good at changing and hiding. He unknowingly influenced Su Scholar and used Su Scholar's mouth to ask me how to break the rune wall. Nine out of ten sentences Su Scholar said were his own thoughts, and one sentence was the demon god's question. I was inadvertently tricked by him into saying a few words, and I'm afraid the rune wall will be destroyed even more by him."

Bai Yuelou trembled and said, "What should we do now?"

Ying Ying said, "Don't panic, let's go out first and find Dao Saint and Holy Buddha. If they can solve one problem, they can naturally solve the second one."

Bai Yuelou was relieved and hurriedly took her out.

The fifth level of Dongdu was in chaos after the Gluttonous Beast demon god caused a commotion, and hundreds of thousands of people and animals were almost devoured by the demon god. When they arrived on the street, it was still chaotic. Fortunately, Dongdu was the capital city, with many spiritual practitioners and with the prime minister Wen Guanshan's prompt mobilization, this incident only caused a great deal of chaos and did not cause any casualties.

Of course, this major incident still left people feeling uneasy.

Fortunately, Dao Saint and Holy Buddha worked together to suppress the Gluttonous Beast demon god, and personally manifested their supreme spiritual essence in the sky above Dongdu, explaining the situation and calming the people's hearts.

Bai Yuelou and the book monster Ying Ying quickly came to Qingxu Temple. The Taoist there led them to meet Dao Saint, and Ying Ying explained the situation. Dao Saint's face suddenly turned extremely pale. "Ying Dao Friend, I am injured. How can I still have the ability to suppress a second one?"

Ying Ying angrily said, "You promised to help Su Scholar suppress the demon god inside him, but you only suppressed one, how can that be enough?"

"It's not that I don't want to suppress it, but I really can't handle it."Dao Saint said, "There's no need for you to go find the old monk. He's no better than me. The gods and demons inside Su Shizi's body have more powerful skills than our Four Great Myths. One is manageable, but with ninety-six of them, it's like fighting a hydra. If we make a mistake, the disaster in Yuanshuo will be even greater! Old monk and I are both old. If something happens to us, the Great Qin army will attack the capital directly! The capital will change hands, and Yuanshuo will be divided into chaos! If those gods and demons don't cause trouble, let them lurk inside Su Shizi's body. Ying Ying, you can stall for time."

Ying Ying was very angry and hit him on the head with her book.

"Hitting me won't do any good."

Dao Saint remained unmoved and said, "If Dao Saint and Holy Buddha die because of suppressing the gods and demons inside Su Shizi's body, the Great Qin army will definitely attack the capital! The capital will change hands immediately, and Yuanshuo will be divided into chaos! As long as those gods and demons don't cause trouble, let them lurk inside Su Shizi's body. Ying Ying, you can stall for time."

Ying Ying was very disappointed and said, "Can we only let them grow stronger? The demons that came out this time are very cunning and dangerous. They even know how to trap me with my own words!"

Dao Saint hesitated for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll suppress my injuries and go to Tian Shi Yuan to ask Qu Taichang's spirit in detail. You guys be patient and don't alarm those demons."

He turned and took off his Qingxu Sword, handing it to Ying Ying and said, "You can hang my sword in Su Shizi's spiritual realm to suppress it for a few more days."

Ying Ying breathed a sigh of relief and left with Bai Yuelou.

As they walked out of Qingxu Guan, they saw Dao Saint following them and saying, "If the Qingxu Sword can't suppress it, you can go to Lei Yin Ge and tell the old monk that you borrowed the Qingxu Sword from me. He'll lend you the Lei Yin Bell."

Ying Ying was overjoyed and thanked him.

Dao Saint suddenly had a feeling and looked up.

He saw an old fox basking in the sun on the eaves of Qingxu Guan. The old fox's fur was fluffy. When it saw them, it silently got up, jumped into the corner, wagged its tail, and walked along the wall corner, disappearing.

Ying Ying and Bai Yuelou also saw the wild fox and wondered, "Why is there a fox in the Taoist temple? Did Dao Saint raise it?"

Dao Saint didn't care and thought, "It's probably a little demon from outside the city who came to listen to the Taoist lecture."

Because there were few rules in the Taoist gate, there were often demon races mixed in to listen to the lecture. For example, Idle Cloud Taoist had succeeded in his crane cultivation, so Dao Saint didn't care much.

"Don't tell Shui Jing and Xue Shengren about this."

Dao Saint instructed them, "They don't have the ability to suppress it. Shui Jing is too extreme and probably wants to release the ninety-six gods and demons to study them. Xue Shengren is scheming and probably wants to borrow the power of the ninety-six gods and demons. Therefore, we must keep this from them."

Ying Ying and Bai Yuelou agreed and immediately went to Lei Yin Ge.

Dao Saint left.

In Lei Yin Ge, Holy Buddha was also injured. After hearing the whole story from Ying Ying and Bai Yuelou, he immediately took the Lei Yin Bell and said, "With only the old Taoist's sword, we can't suppress the demon. We need my bell to suppress it for a few more days. The old Taoist's face is too ugly. Qu Taichang may not see him. We have to go together."

Ying Ying and Bai Yuelou's hearts were pounding as they held these two great holy spirit weapons. If they could keep them, they would be rich for the rest of their lives.The two returned to Xianliang Courtyard, and Ying Ying said to Su Yun, "Dao Saint and Holy Buddha are worried that you won't be able to win tomorrow, so they plan to lend you their Great Saint Spirit Weapons for you to comprehend. Hang these two treasures in your spiritual realm."

Su Yun was both surprised and delighted, and after a moment of reserve, he said, "Do I have to return them?"

"Yes, you do."

"What a pity."

Dao Saint went to the Dongdu Station, bought a ticket, boarded the car, and sat in the candle dragon carriage, thinking, "If it were in the past, I would still need to refine my own mount or fly with my own cloud and mist, consuming my vital energy to rush on the road. Now, I can just buy a ticket to go out. These days are too decadent, but very convenient..."

Three days later, Dao Saint changed trains continuously, and the next stop was Hexi. He saw the candle dragon carriage driving through the mountains and wilderness, and a person came and sat opposite him.

That person was neither a monk nor a Taoist nor a Confucian, and he said, "Master asked me to send a pen to Dao Saint."

The man took out a jade pen and respectfully presented it to Dao Saint.

Dao Saint took the pen, and the young man stepped back and jumped off the candle dragon carriage.

Dao Saint was surprised and carefully examined the jade pen, only to see the word "Han" engraved on it.

Dao Saint's face changed drastically. He looked out the window, and the candle dragon carriage was pushed up into the air by a huge force.

"Maybe I won't be able to go back alive."

Dao Saint flew out of the candle dragon carriage, urged his magic power, lifted the huge land candle dragon, and slowly placed it on the ground.

"Moo..." The candle dragon roared and ran forward.

Dao Saint looked at the person standing in the sky ahead and said coldly, "So, is Confucianism's Great Saint Cen Old Man also dead like this?"
